Today marked the first recall election against a state lawmaker since 2008, when then-House Speaker Andy Dillon beat a recall election.

Scott’s opponents sought to recall the second-term lawmaker for several reasons, including his votes to cut K-12 education funding, add a pension tax and his work on legislation that loosens teacher tenure protection.

According to campaign finance reports, Scott out-raised the recall effort by a nearly two to one margin.

Reports show Scott’s campaign committee has raised $111,796 in the past 12 months, while the Michigan Republican Party has spent another $29,000-plus to support his fight to stay in office. He also has support to the tune of $51,000 from the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and nearly $73,000 from StudentsFirst, a Washington, D.C.-based education reform group. The recall committee reports having raised roughly $147,000, about $140,000 of which came from the MEA.
